The Humble Indie Bundle Gets Double Fine

The very popular gaming package for charity, The Humble Bundle, is the gift that keeps giving. This month’s selection only further proves that with a lineup featuring games from Double Fine. It works like the previous ones in that you select an amount you’d like to pay and breaking the average gets you one or more bonus items. You can  then allocate your payment to charity, the developer, or Humble Bundle, INC which runs the promotion each month. The titles up [...]

[PAX] Hands-On (The Air) Preview: Dropchord

Any time the words “Double Fine” and “new game” show up in the same sentence, you have my attention. Obviously, when I first heard that Double Fine had a new game coming out for the Leap Motion Controller, I was intrigued; mostly because I had no idea what the Leap Motion Controller was. I was able to play Double Fine’s Dropchord at PAX East and now, boy, do I want a Leap Motion Controller.

[News] Broken Age the Title of Double Fine’s Kickstarter Game

Hey, remember that weekend last year when the entire games industry, fanbase, and enthusiast press united under one banner (for once) and gave like 4.3 billion dollars to Double Fine so they could Kickstart an old-school point-and-click adventure game? Well, that game now has a title: Broken Age! A promotional webpage has gone up with a very brief synopsis of how the game was funded along with a synopsis of what it’s about. Here’s what it says: “Broken Age is [...]

[Review] Brütal Legend PC – Silver Metal Performance

These days, developer Double Fine has settled into a comfortable space where they create small, downloadable titles and rely on modest success to keep the doors open. Its founder, Tim Schafer, is one of video gaming’s true visionaries who brings a distinctive voice to everything he touches. Originally released on PS3 and XBox 360 in 2009, Brütal Legend is finally available on PC. Its lack of sales, coupled with the long and drawn out battles Schafer faced in just getting [...]

[Wormlight] All the Video Games Merch That Money Can Buy

I enjoy writing about nerd culture in general, which includes gaming as well as writing about all kinds of sexy, collectible plastic goodness. I figured it was about time I combined these two things and shed some light on the kind of merch available for gamer fans. There’s a surprising amount of stuff out there, especially if you’re willing to import them from Japan. No, don’t look at me like that.. it’s a lot easier than it sounds. Promise! Check out my [...]

[Review] The Cave: Gilbert’s Grotto

The Cave seems like an amazing idea on paper. It takes the character switching mechanics from adventure game classics like Maniac Mansion and wraps them in a beautiful pseudo-adventure game platformer. Helmed by Ron Gilbert, one of my favorite dudes in the industry, and backed by Double Fine’s outstanding art team, to say that I was “looking forward to” this game is a gross understatement. Does The Cave actually equal the sum of its parts or is this sanctum better [...]

[News] Official Release Dates for The Cave

Just a short while ago at the time of writing, Ron Gilbert tweeted official release dates (finally!) for The Cave. On January 22 we’ll see its release on PSN and WiiU, and January 23 is when you’ll be able to grab it on XBLA and Steam (pre-order). In even better news, Mac and Linux are totally not left out here, so basically everyone’s invited. The only thing missing is an announcement for iOS and Android. The game will cost US$14.99 (not [...]

[News] Double Fine Unlocks Brazen for Amnesia Fortnight

For those sitting on the side not willing to choose a winner of Double Fine’s in studio battle royale, the ground rules are that you need to donate about $1 to charity, the devs, or the Humble Bundle organization to vote.  I say go charity, but it’s your choice. In typical Humble Bundle fashion however, a new incentive has entered the ring if you decide to pay a bit more. Brazen is a new action game that the Iron Brigade [...]

[News] Vote for Double Fine’s Next 4 Prototypes

Vote for this game Double Fine seems to trust us now that we have donated enough money to fully fund their Double Fine Adventure.  This is good, because we have the opportunity to get some of the funniest writers in game development today to create some really weird projects.  I don’t want to get my expectations up however, so I’m going to be up front about this.  Don’t play it safe and simply pick the one that feels the most [...]

[PAX] My Slow War With Tim Schafer (Shitty Gallery Post)

This post is mainly just designed to chronicle the two times I’ve met Tim Schafer (founder of Double Fine Productions) at gaming conventions. He is a terrific guy, and even had the heart to approach me when he saw me awkwardly standing near him. He also makes cool adventure games. It’s important to note that this post is completely reflective of the quality of all posts on our site.
